The Sparrowhawk and Golden Eagle escorts are the last of a dying breed of ship designed during the great crusade as an attempt to counter the massive quantities of land based attack craft commonly found defending lost worlds. As the crusade neard its end there was much less call for such ships and as such many were scrapped or put into fleet reserves for use as training vessels. A few of these were converted to carry Starhawk bombers and Fury interceptors and were used to bolster planatary defense forces and as a somewhat effective merchant transport. By the late 41st millennium however even many of these have long been retired in favor of the more durable cruiser based designs coming out of the major forges and fleet bases. Currently no major sector fleets make use of these vessels altho minor sectors may still make use of their unique capabilities and de-militarized versions can still be seen escorting rouge trader fleets and in the planetary defense fleets of hundreds of worlds.
Can be modeled by shaping the edges of chaos launch bays to the prow of Iconoclasts (Sparrowhawk) or Infidels (Golden Eagle) Golden Eagles can also be represented by Escort Carriers (all must be painted in appropriate colors!)
Scutum Frigate..............................................50pts
Type/Hits...Speed....Turns....Shields....Armor....Turrets
Escort/1.....25cm.....90*......2............5+........2
Armament...........Strength.............Range.........Arc
Weapons Battery......3...................45cm........L/F/R
The Scutum class frigate predates the advent of the modern battleship and were designed as a means of introducing void shielding to early Imperial Ironclads by closely escorting them with frigates that would intercept incoming fire. As the newer battleships were developed with their own shield generators the demand for these ships dwindled and with the technology to reproduce their powerful laser batteries becoming more scarce eventually all production was ceased in favor of the newer Sword class with its much simpler design. The majority of these turned traitor and it is believed that this much of this ships technology was replicated for use in the Idolator class raider. Very few are still in Imperial service, those that still are however make very valuable additions to any sector commands escort flotillas.
The Scutum class frigate can be modeled using Idolator raiders with their prow lance replaced with something to represent the additional shield generators.
Scorcher destroyer.........................................30pts
Type/Hits...Speed....Turns....Shields....Armor....Turrets
Escort/1.....25cm.....90*......1............4+........1
Armament...........Strength.............Range.........Arc
Weapons battery......1...................30cm........L/F/R
Lance.....................1...................30cm...........F
The Scorcher was rather uncommon even when they were new. Many attempts had been made to graft a lance onto the smaller destroyer frames in the hopes of creating a ship capable of both high speeds and a powerful punch. The Scorcher was the most successful of these attempts using the Iconoclast hull and power plant Adptus engineers were able to reroute the required energy to power the lance however many of these examples suffered problems with overheating and several were destroyed by the engines detonating. This gave the ship a rather bad name and they were mostly scrapped, the few that survived were placed in fleet reserves or low priority areas and forgotten. The crafty engineers assigned to these ships quickly learned that in order for the ship to sustain the energy required to power the lance and not overload the power plants they would need to come up with a solution. It was determined that by shunting a portion of the ships energy from the engines to the lance they could prevent any overheating, but at the cost of a slower speed somewhat defeating their original purpose but making the ship much more reliable.
Can be modeled by attaching a lance turret to an Iconoclast destroyer.
All of these were intended for use with a back water type fleet, RT fleet, PDF, or as reserves for IN/Choas fleets. Point values have not been play tested and are simply what felt right for the ship.
